The HUPO 2022 Congress will be held in Cancun, Mexico from December 4-8, 2022. We invite you to join us for our in person meeting which will include some virtual components that will enhance the participant experience. This allows international participation to one of the largest global events in the field of proteomics.
Cancun is known around the world for its beautiful white sand beaches, azure blue sea, distinctive natural attractions, Mayan culture, water activities, traditional artisan shops, and vibrant nightlife. Natural wonders like the towering mangroves, the tropical jungle, and the underground water cenotes provide a variety of adventurous activities. We hope you take some time to explore all that this destination has to offer.

ECR Welcomes New Member
Fangfei Zhang
The HUPO Early Career Researcher Initiative is thrilled to welcome its newest member, Fangfei Zhang! Fangfei is currently a Ph.D. student in the Fudan-Westlake University (China) biology program, who joined the Guomics laboratory of Big Data in April 2019, with a focus in developing high-throughput clinical proteomics data analytics. She received her Master’s degree in Bioinformatics from the ETH Zurich in the Aebersold lab, focusing on epi-proteomics after she developed her interest in proteomics during her bachelor's research in theoretical biology at the Hong Kong Baptist University.

Each month a member of HUPO is highlighted. A diverse group of researchers representing different career stages, disciplines, geographical locations, and ethnicities will be invited to submit a profile for the monthly highlight. This initiative will improve visibility of HUPO members, advertise research and enhance the HUPO community. This month we are featuring: |

What is your current position and location?
Hi, I am Sanjeeva Srivastava, a professor at the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India. IIT Bombay is ranked an Institute of Eminence and number 1 rank in India.
How did you get started in the field of proteomics?
I got into proteomics because I wanted to learn more about life's deepest secrets. The human genome study was getting accomplished just at the beginning of my research career. What surprised me was the genome's remarkably stable nature! There was little difference between the genomes of humans and chimpanzees and much less between individuals. Nonetheless, we see how unique each individual is. I realized that the mysteries of life's variety are embedded in the continually evolving proteome. It's no surprise that I was drawn to proteomics and decided to pursue it as research for my Ph.D. My first brush with proteomics research started during my Ph.D. studies at the University of Alberta (discovery proteomics using 2DE and MS), and later I gained deeper insights during my post-doctoral years with Prof. Joshua LaBaer at Harvard Medical School (functional proteomics using protein microarrays-NAPPA and Surface Plasmon Resonance).

Cancer is a major cause of death around the globe and many researchers worldwide are diligently trying to develop safe and effective methods for diagnosis, prevention and treatment. In cancer proteogenomics, the same cancer tissue is divided into sections to perform genomics and proteomics investigations. Genomics by next generation sequencing reveals the molecular signatures at gene level while protein biomarkers could be identified by high-resolution mass spectrometers. In proteogenomics the big data obtained from these high-throughput technologies (genomics and proteomics) is integrated along with clinical features, which has high potential to revolutionize the field of precision oncology. View a short documentary that Dr. Sanjeeva Srivastava and his team made in their lab to depict the need of cancer proteogenomics for a student outreach program. |

B/D-HPP HUPOST Round-up and Call for 2022 Articles
HUPOSTs have continued to provide a valuable platform for members of the HUPO community to share the latest findings and perspectives. We highlight some HUPOST articles contributed by early career and established proteomics investigators around the globe in the past 18 months:
- Eyeome in the spotlight
- Spatially resolved map
- Metaverse of proteins
- Proteomics in the clinic
- Demystifying VUS
- Sugar and protein together
We are now accepting new B/D-HPP HUPOST submissions for 2022. We welcome articles on any areas of development and application broadly related to proteomics. Simply reach out to us with a topic or short abstract if you would like to contribute an article to showcase your research, write about recent developments that excite you and issues you care about, or share your thoughts with the worldwide HUPO community. We also encourage articles from early-career students and fellows that are co-authored with their mentors as part of their training in science communication and outreach!

Amyris - Proteomics Scientist, Research and Development, Bioanalytics
Emeryville, CA, USA
The Amyris Bioanalytics team is looking for an experienced, self-motivated scientist to facilitate strain and process improvement by identifying, evaluating, and deploying proteomics approaches for the analysis of strains using both wet lab and computational methodologies. The successful candidate will contribute to setting strategic goals for the proteomics platform, guiding continuous improvement efforts and routine operations and maintenance of the pipeline and associated equipment.
As a member of the fast-paced, cross-functional team, you will be part of the multidisciplinary Screening and Analytics department (SCAN) department. You will independently develop, optimize, and run LC-MSMS based proteomics experiments. A successful candidate will evaluate cutting-edge technologies and actively seek to advance our omics pipeline. The role includes collaboratively working with our fermentation, biology, process development and scientific computing groups to develop and implement assays that answer questions as efficiently as possible.
